Statistics New Zealand will be introducing a new New Zealand classification system called the National Occupation List (NOL). The first version of the NOL will be released on 20 November 2024.
The announcement was made today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Statistics New Zealand. It follows a consultation period which found strong support for separate systems because the labour market in both countries has changed so much.
Comparable but tailored occupational classifications for Australia and New Zealand — Stats NZ
It will take some time for Immigration New Zealand to transition to the new classification system. We will continue to use the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) until then and will provide a further update in 2025 when we have a confirmed a switch over date.
ANZSCO grades occupations according to skill level. ANZSCO skill levels range from 1 to 5, with 1 being the most skilled and 5 being less skilled.
